Voting By Mail

Information About Absentee Voting by Mail

Please note: If you registered to vote by mail and this is your first time voting, you may not vote absentee by mail (exceptions apply for students away at school and disabled persons). You may vote at your normal polling location or vote an absentee ballot in person at the Voter Registration Office or an available satellite absentee voting location.

A by-mail absentee voter acquires an Absentee Ballot Application (PDF) and completes the pertinent absentee and voter information on the application. The application must then be mailed or faxed to the Loudoun County Voter Registration office, where it is processed. Once eligibility has been determined, a ballot and its accompanying instructions are mailed to the voter. When the voter receives the ballot, he / she may vote in the presence of another adult. The voter must return the ballot in the self-addressed envelope provided.

The ballot must be received no later than 7 p.m. on election day to be counted in an election.
